Re: [PHP] Seconds to minutes
Ahhh - that works a treat! First time I've seen the floor command in
action.
Thanks Jonathon.
Still more lines of code than I'd like, but obviously its not that easy to
do!

i'll just throw my code in here while we're at it...
$seconds = 3600*5 + (60 * 10) + 45;
$hours = floor( $seconds / 3600 );
$mins = floor( ($seconds % 3600) / 60 );
$seconds = floor( ($seconds % 60) );
echo "Hours: $hours\nMins: $mins\nSeconds: $seconds\n";

How about something like this, given $seconds containing the number of
seconds?
$secs = $seconds;
$hours = $secs / 3600;
$secs %= 3600;
$mins = $secs / 60;
$mins %= 60;
$out = sprintf ("%d hour%s, %d minute%s, %d second%s",
$hours, ($hours == 1 ? '' : 's'),
$mins, ($mins == 1 ? '' : 's'),
$secs, ($secs == 1 ? '' : 's'));

Re: [PHP] Seconds to minutes
Bob,
Instead of dividing, use modulus to get the exact number of remaining
seconds, and then determine the minutes from that.
Here is some code that I've quickly adapted from another language I use, to
take the total minutes, and convert it to "hours:minutes" display.
$totalmins = 193;
$showmins = $totalmins%60;
$showhrs = ($totalmins-$showmins)/60;
echo $showhrs.":".$showmins;
I haven't tested this, but it might give you a start. The same concept
would apply to converting seconds to minutes...

Ideally though, because it will crop up from time to time, it'd be the go to
do it right the first time.

Re: [PHP] Seconds to minutes
Its seems far more reliable than what I am using (dividing by 60 for
minutes, 3600 for hours and doing rounding, exploding if its not a round
number etc).
Its only for measuring short times, so Matt's suggestion should work ok.
Ideally though, because it will crop up from time to time, it'd be the go to
do it right the first time.
Anyone else know of a better way?

That doesn't work for anything over 3599 seconds, though...

[PHP] Seconds to minutes
Hey Guys, At the moment, I'm using quite a few lines of code to convert seconds to minutes and hours. I'm thinking, surely I'm missing something really simple! Is there a PHP function that converts seconds to minutes? Or is it a 4 or 5 (and not always that accurate) lines of code? Any ideas or input would be appreciated.
